You guys, seriously, I cannot believe reveal day for the home office makeover is finally here! For realz, we need to pop the champs! It seems like it’s been FOREVER since we started working on this room. Let’s have a walk down memory lane, shall we?
I’m so excited to finally share the French Country laundry room makeover at my parent’s home, Bliss Barracks with you today. We’ve probably been dreaming up ideas for this space since May and it was such an honor to help bring my Mom’s vision to life. Here’s a look at how all the details came together…
A few weeks ago, I was out shopping and found this three-drawer dresser I thought might make a great folding station for my mom’s laundry room at Bliss Barracks. We’ve actually been looking for something that could work in her space for a couple of months now. This dresser was great because it had the vintage vibe she wanted and was already painted white. That being said, she did have a few requests. Here’s a peek at the transformation…
A few years ago, my parents surprised me with some old fencing they had saved from my childhood home, Loblolly Manor. I wasn’t sure how we would use them at first but ultimately, we decided to use the old fencing to give an industrial style shelving unit a farmhouse makeover. Here’s a look at how we repurposed old fencing with a simple hack…
A few weeks ago, my mom was back in our hometown and found a console table she said was “slightly orange.” We had been looking for a slim lined table for the bedroom makeover and the one she found had all the right measurements. Honestly, when she sent me a picture the orange colored table, it didn’t look that bad. But once I picked it up from her, it all made perfect sense. Here’s a look at how we used dark wax as a stain and transformed a slightly orange console table into a warm and rustic desk…
Of all of the DIY projects related to the master bedroom makeover, stenciling the concrete floor was the task I was most excited and also the most nervous about. I’m happy to report we finished this project in plenty of time and it’s totally fabulous! Here’s a look at how we completely transformed the bedroom floor with the help of Royal Design Studio Stencils…
When we first started planning the elements of the bedroom for the One Room Challenge, we were fairly certain we would be keeping all of the furniture. As soon as we decided to paint a few of the pieces, I immediately thought about Lamp Black for the dresser. I fully understand black can be a tough sell but I could not stop thinking about how amazing the rich color would look when given a chance for change. Here’s a look at how Lamp Black completely transformed the dresser…
By now you may already know we’re currently participating in the One Room Challenge. I know it seems like 6 weeks is a long time to get a room completed from start to finish but we’re entering into week 2 and I swear it feels like our list is a mile long! We’ve been looking for a way to change the look of the existing bedroom furniture and found a way to give furniture a weathered look by layering paint. Here’s a peek at how you can create a similar look too…
It’s taken a few weeks but I finally feel like I’m really close to having the booth full again. Not totally restocked, mind you, but full. I was able to pick up a few pieces of furniture from an estate sale in September and my mom was able to find a few pieces for me in our hometown too. One of the pieces was this dresser I decided to give a coastal makeover with a custom mix of three paints. Here’s a look at how you can achieve this simple look…
Last month, I was at an estate sale desperate to find several pieces of furniture at once. There are times I go out shopping and find exactly what I need for the business and other times it is “slim pickins’” as they say. Thankfully, at this particular estate sale I was able to find 2 pieces one of furniture one of which was this buffet. Here’s a look at how we gave the buffet a makeover in sea gull gray…
Over the weekend I was sitting on one of the new bar stools, waiting on breakfast, giggling with my bestie S about how I swore the kitchen makeover would take ….ahem, a grand total of 5 days to complete. “Don’t you remember I said this was going to be THE hardest room you’ve ever made over?” Yes, in fact, I had heard those words but I was up for the challenge any way. Would I take on a project like this again? In a heartbeat! Here’s a look at how the details of our kitchen makeover came together…
I hadn’t planned to share this project with you guys today. I was actually going to save it for next week but the transformation is just too exciting to wait. I was putting the finishing touches on the breakfast nook and kitchen areas when there was just something about the space that wasn’t working. I tried three other pieces of furniture before giving this piece I’ve carried around for almost 40 years a total makeover. Here’s a look at an inexpensive way to update a childhood hutch…
